I am using this to improve theKatie Joplin article. There is a bit on the show in Chapter 10: Starting a Brand New Job. I was able to access this part through Google Books when I first worked on the article back in 2018, but now, my access to the book is greatly limited for some reason. Thank you in advance!Aoba47 (talk)20:03, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Two articles aboutThe Fly (1986 film) in the September 1986 issue of theAmerican Cinematographer magazine: "More AboutThe Fly" by Ron Magid and "New Buzz on an Old Theme" by Tim Lucas
An article titled "The Fly Papers" by Tim Lucas in the November 1986 issue ofCinefex magazine
Requesting these forThe Fly (1986 film). I was wondering if I could ask you guys to find archives of the newspaper/magazine articles cited in theAmerican Film Institute's long write-up (under History tab) about the film here? (http://catalog.afi.com/Film/68348-THE-FLY?cxt=filmography); I couldn't find them online and I'd rather not use AFI as source to expand the Wiki (even tho it's reliable).
@Nincompoopian: I've sent you a bunch ofCronenberg's The Fly-related-stuff which you might find useful. But I think there's somewhere else to ask for specific source diving; this is just for asking for what you know you already need.Also, perWP:VOLUNTEER,you guys might have to... is not guaranteed to get results! :)——Serial15:29, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, I'm currently working on very slowly reducingCategory:All articles with bare URLs for citations. Unfortunately there are quite a few articles with bare urls to britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk, which is paywalled.I am not looking for any content from the sources, but rather I'd just like to be able to fill in a proper citation template. I'm looking for the article title, work (newspaper), issue, date and/or any other relevant information if possible for each link, as from the url alone I cannot work out any of these things. If you have access to this please do let me know so I can convert some of these bare urls to news citations. Alternatively if anyone knows a way I can ascertain this information from the url without needing to go through the paywall, that would also work I imagine.I appreciate this is a lot to ask, but hopefully as it is only really the title, date and newspaper name that I'm interested in, it might not take too long. The list is of course, in reality, probably nearly endless, but these Irish election ones I particularly wanted to get sorted. Thank you very much! (also pinging the user who added some of the references to the articles in case they can help@MrPenguin21:) )
A list of the specific links I would currently like:
Rosen, Charles (2002).Beethoven's Piano Sonatas, A Short Companion. New Haven & London: Yale University Press.ISBN0-300-09070-6.
ForPiano Sonata No. 31 (Beethoven) (I only need the pages pertaining to the sonata, but I'm not sure what they are; I need access in order to add page number attributions to the article)
@GeneralPoxter:, as for #1, aside from the fact that there were no ISBNs in 1967, it seems there is an 1986 edition of this booklet (seehere), which might be either a reprint or a new edition. I'd have access to that, if that's fine as well. — Pajz (talk)00:48, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I was there, alas the volume wasn't (everything is in closed stacks here). Will check again on Wednesday. — Pajz (talk)22:09, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
GeneralPoxter, well, looks like I made a mistake. The guide was now in the reading room and I scanned it, but I scanned the section on Op. 31, not Piano Sonata No. 31, which apparently is Op. 110. I'll re-order it, and if, by some strange happenstance, you have a use for the 5 pages on Op. 31, feel free to let me know. — Pajz (talk)18:22, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Andy Mabbett: There is no "profile" of him inTime. Closer to the mark is what source[1] says, although it misleads with the word "quote". What you have in mind is:"Jim Crow Tennis".Time. Vol. 34, no. 9. August 28, 1939. p. 43.Negroes are not permitted to play major-league baseball, are not tolerated in bigtime tournaments of the U. S. Golf Association or the U. S. Lawn Tennis Association.† [Footnote:] † Only Negro ever known to have competed at Wimbledon is Briton B. M. Clark, member of a Jamaica, B. W. I. tennis club.
@Andy Mabbett:The Leeds Mercury is a photo caption (before you ask, the image I've seen is grainy, with poor contrast, and curved and cut off by the page being tightly bound into a volume, I won't be supplying it)."Styles and Strokes From Wimbledon".The Leeds Mercury.

Thus far, I've been using Grove Art Online via the Wikipedia Library, but it doesn't give me page numbers, and the 1996 version used in the article seems to have more information (I can't actually check the veracity of this assumption).
Vami_IV, could you advise based on the preceding comment whether this request should be marked as resolved or whether you still want a scan? — Pajz (talk)04:20, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Bookku: is the book even out yet? The publisher's page for the book says it's only accepting preorders and the book will be published in hardcover[2] and ebook[3] form on July 22, 2021. Conclusion seems to be pages 196-203 though (Index begins 204).Umimmak (talk)22:49, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Umimmak: Thanks for your supportive response. I was unaware that book still is to be officially published. Actually I saw the title on google books but I could not get access to content chapters. I do not have hurry I can wait until it becomes available.

Jenhawk777, (1) What are "hidden pages"? (2) The ISBN appears to belong to an epub version of the book. What are the page numbers in reference to? The printed version? — Pajz (talk)23:47, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I saw the print ISBN, the reason I'm asking is because I wonder if, when I copy page 198 from the printed version, that will actually be the same as page 198 of whatever version Jenhawk777 is looking at... Given the nature of epub files, I would not expect whatever page number is displayed in such a file to align with the print version. — Pajz (talk)04:18, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! The reference desk directed me this way in search of: the best way to find out if any of the Wikipedia Library resources have access to foreign-language press sources likeLa Prensa (Managua)? (Perhaps alsoEl Nuevo Diario?) I have been working to improve en-wiki coverage of Nicaragua (of particular interest as there is apresidential election this year) andLa Prensa is the country's largest paper but the paywall is a beast. Any chance I might access through one of the databases? I struck out looking in Newspapers.com and EBSCO altho in latter it seems possible I'm not searching for the title of a publication correctly.Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library/A–Z didnt list these but I see that’s marked historical so perhaps there’s still a chance one or both are here somewhere?

This is to be able to create the redlinks found in theNumber-one singles in Japan template. According to Worldcat, this book is found in the Yale University Library and the National Diet Library (in Japan). I don't have access to either of those. I don't know page numbers, and it will be a lot of them as I need the weekly #1 singles for every week within 1993-2004 to be able to create the articles.
Nihonjoe, 17 articles appear to use this work as a reference. Pinging the users who added them, in the hope that someone can assist. Incidentally, it looks like you added this as a source to three articles; how were you able to obtain the work then?
@Usernameunique:I had access to it for a brief time, but I no longer have access to it (and no way to regain access at this time). I was remembering a different book used for a different set of refs.

Hi there. I used the refs for KM articles based on forum archives of someone who allegedly bought the 1968–2005 book and posted the highest ranks per artists by request (the thread has been archived). Most of them are Western artists. I know it's notthat reliable as a source but this is the only way for me to have access to the book.

ForEmbaloh language. The article is listed in thejournal's home page, but unfortunately, there is no electronic version. On the author's home page[8], there is only a dead link to the article[9] (not archived by Wayback Machine).
The articleTuesdee Testa cites the above-mentionedLA Times article a couple of times, but I'm only capable of seeing a clipping of the first part of the article using Newspapers.com. I've started a discussion about this atTalk:Tuesdee Testa#DOB and am wondering if there's any one here WP:RX who can see the entire article. Is there a way to make clipping of the page where the article begins and the page where the article finishes? If not, then perhaps some one who can read the article in its entirety can at least verify the date or year of Testa's birth. If the content is supported by the source, then I can use the parameters|quote= and|url-access=subscription to clarify the citation.
